  - We have the motors working to resist/counteract changes in the Arduino tilt!

  - The robot is able to stay upright.

  - Although we weren't able to fulfill all of our goals for this project, we are very proud to share this working prototype. Future revision is something we are still interested in!

  WEEK 6 UPDATES:

  • Chassis assembly
  • Mounted everything, added radiomodule
  • Wrote new code
  • Current challenges: need to reprint chassis because it is currently held together by tape
  • New revised CAD design
  • Added slots for wires
  • Widened it because the battery is too big for chassis
  • Less empty space
  • Added slot for potentiometer
  • Make it so screws can fit with bigger tolerances
  • Slots instead of prongs, easier and more stable
